EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Possession of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university or additional 5 years of overall experience. Minimum 3 years general engineering expereience. Experience as a Senior C2 and Link Engineer with 4+ years of system and software requirements and test experience and knowledge of Core combat systems Command and Control and Link systems/components, functionality, and functional data flow.
Required Skillls:
1. Understand C2 functionality and flow through the components and elements of the combat system. Be able to trace functional data flow and pinpoint/root cause system/software issues. Must be able to sit down with code writers and help identify the cause of the problem.
2. Understand how to ensure design meets requirements and identify needed changes to meet MILSTD requirements.
3. Write test procedures, set up and conduct testing, troubleshoot issues preventing successful testing and assist in fixing.
4. Understand functional and performance requirements as they flow through the detect to engage kill chain.
5. Understand design through testing of functional requirements and trace back to design.
6. Assist the developers in understanding how a combat system works, and how and what data flows through the core C2 system.
7. Know what weapons systems are on both flights of LCS and how they are integrated with the combat system.
8. Know how to root cause a problem, software/hardware/firmware. i.e., when the TAO “hits the fire button” and the “launcher doesn’t launch a missile”, you have to be able to get into the details and help/tell the software/coding SME what went wrong and where it went wrong.
Ability to travel to support land based and shipboard test events is necessary (at least 2 weeks at a time for test events; 1-2 weeks a month on average)
